According to Rosenberg, the Steelers may have violated an NFL Draft rule that indicates teams cannot interfere with other organizations who are on the clock.
Lemon initially thought he was heading to Pittsburgh after holding a conversation with GM Omar Khan. However, that sentiment quickly shifted when the Eagles traded picks with the Dallas Cowboys to move one spot ahead of the Steelers.
The leaked phone call involved the Steelers discussing their interest in drafting Makai Lemon, which may have violated NFL rules as the Eagles were also trying to reach him.
The Steelers could face league discipline from the NFL due to the improper communication with Lemon during the draft process.
Makai Lemon is a wide receiver from USC who was considered a top prospect in the 2026 NFL Draft, making him a key target for the Steelers.

A viral draft video of Lemon even emerged showing the wide receiver getting the news from his agent. There was significant confusion all around during the sequence on Thursday as the Steelers scrambled to make their pick after the Eagles.
âHey, why is Philly calling me?â Lemon asked his agent and family while speaking with Khan.
